I have university teaching experience and I tutored friends throughout college. I have received excellent teacher evaluations at both the University of Texas and Singapore University of Technology and Design. These two universities have students that are very different from each other and I excelled in teaching both groups. My background is in mathematics, I have a bachelors and masters degree in math from UT and NYU respectively, but I branched out from pure math and received a PhD from the McCombs School of Business in financial engineering. I left my job in Singapore in August and I start a new job as a professor of Mathematics and Systems Engineering at the University of Minnesota in January.

I am a third-year economics major at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. I am from the Washington, D.C. area and attended Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia. My liberal arts education has provided me with a strong core curriculum, allowing me to not just limit my studies to economics. Economics courses have allowed me to continually increase my mathematical knowledge, whether that be in applying calculus to economic situations or understanding statistics at the business level. I am very skilled at math and have confidence in teaching all grade levels. I attribute my personal success in taking the ACT to a tutor, inspiring me to join the Varsity Tutors team. I have experience with many standardized tests, but I specialize in ACT and SSAT test preparation. My ability to effectively work with all ages allows me to intellectually grow. I am a passionate writer and understand the pressure students face in writing college application essays. My experience with college essays comes not only from helping students, but also writing essays for multiple schools when I was applying to college. I strongly believe that success is methodical and all students are capable of succeeding with the right regimen and motivation. Overall, my love for helping others succeed academically, as well as my flexible schedule, makes me a valuable resource to any student needing assistance in a subject area I am well-qualified for.

I am an experienced electrical engineer with an advanced degree in electrical engineering. In graduate school, I was a teaching assistant for two semesters (basic semiconductor circuits and electro-mechanical laboratory). During 2012-2013, I taught fundamental electrical circuit analysis to engineering students for two semesters at Penn State Harrisburg. I also have experience tutoring mathematics one-on-one to high-school students.My goal is to improve and help solidify the student's understanding of the subject matter. With a better understanding, it is expected that the student will be motivated to approach problems with increased skill and eventually confidence.A student's insight is important to solving mathematics and calculus problems. Sometimes this insight is based on physical intuition--but it does not need to be. I spend time to ensure that the student starts on a correct approach.With years of hands-on-experience in electrical engineering and physical systems, I am able to associate the equations describing a system with its behavior.If concepts in mathematics or physics escape you, or you're having trouble figuring out how to set up problems to obtain their solution, I would enjoy helping you work through that difficulty.

Hi! This is Yuanyuan Zou (also Maggie). Here is a brief introduction to my educational background and working experience:After graduating with my dual degree from Tianjin Foreign Studies University in China and Alma College in Michigan in 2017, I was offered a job as a Chinese Instructional Assistant at Alma College. Although I felt prepared at the beginning stage, I gradually felt a need for a more in-depth understanding of Chinese history and culture to better answer the questions my students raised during various class settings and cultural events. I then felt stimulated to continue my education in the fields of Chinese Languages and Literature. Therefore, I applied and got accepted by George Washington University. I have taken classes with professors from different departments on subjects including the history of the Chinese language, Chinese literature, Chinese drama and theatre, Chinese religions, and more. Meanwhile, I have also worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Department of East Asian Language and Literature to further my training in formal language teaching and actively apply what I have learned from my supervisor and my coursework. After graduation, I have been working at Washington Yu Ying Public Charter School as a Chinese Teaching Fellow. During this year at Yu Ying, I have been observing and trained in areas such as Conscious Discipline, Micro Aggression, etc., which prepares me with the nurturing and inclusive teaching philosophy that would apply to my future teaching.I also have a diverse undergraduate educational background in Journalism and New Media Studies. Since visual communication is becoming a more accessible way to enhance communication, this learning experience has prepared me well with multi-media fluency, computer literacy, and communication skills that are all necessary for language teaching programs.

A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart. I firmly believe that every great teacher is always able to teach no matter what the circumstances are. When I declared my major in education, I knew I had made the best decision of all my friends because I was actually passionate about what I would be doing. Currently, I am teaching pre-k at a private school here in Manhattan. I love my job. I love being around kids, watching them learn and begin to do new things on their own. For me, teaching is about learning how to teach each child as a whole and individually. Every child learns differently and I believe that it is my job to figure out how they learn right from the beginning and then work with them to make them better. No two children learn the same so I have learned to figure out how each child works in a class. One of my biggest strengths is with writing and reading. I am a great lover of books and teaching children to love to read and how to write is what I love to do. I am always available if anyone needs help and I always strive to do my best. It is my job to make every child better and that is exactly what I am to do.

I am a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of International Studies. My graduate degree is in International Economics and Russian area studies. I also have a Bachelor's degree in International Relations with a concentration in foreign languages. I studied abroad for one year in Vienna, Austria and nine months in Moscow, Russia. I have traveled, lived and worked in several countries overseas. I am currently employed full-time at an executive branch agency with the federal government. I also teach German to adult learners. I am very passionate about language teaching and have a deep understanding and tolerance for diverse learning styles. My students have praised me for my engaging teaching style of incorporating different learning platforms in the classroom (i.e. games, film and video clips) and for being able to make difficult grammar points more understandable for them. As a firm proponent of foreign languages, being part of any educational curriculum, I also enjoy incorporating the relevant culture to the foreign language experience. I want my students to succeed at language study, but recognize that it can be difficult for some, and I always strive for patience and understanding with those who struggle. In my spare time, I enjoy keeping fit and spending time with my wife and two children. Alpine skiing in the winter and tennis in the warmer months are my two other life passions.

I believe learning should be fun and exciting. I am patient and charismatic. I am a graduate social worker who enjoys reading, writing, and acquiring new information on an array of topics. My favorite genre is African American literature. I love collecting the classics. I hope that I can help you master a new skill and find a new approach to learning.

I am a 27 year old prior 4th year medical student taking some extended leave to start a family and get married. I triple majored in Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry in college with a pre-medical focus. I then came to Washington, D.C. to begin medical school and have completed all but one semester of my rotations.I have tutored since I was in middle school as a peer educator. I worked professionally as a tutor during college for applerouth tutoring for 2 years and was a TA and peer educator in college from freshman year until senior year. I have taught everything from intro biology courses to physical chemistry while in college and continued tutoring well into medical school during the first two pre-clinical years.My approach varies on what the student requires. Some students want to make major changes in short periods of time which require a more focused approach and a more hands on methodology for quick significant gains. For students with more time on their hands and a more difficult time grasping material less hand-holding is required and a more directed approach can be used to guide students in the right direction.

I would like to offer my services for teaching/tutoring languages. I am a professional linguist and native speaker of both French and Arabic.I have a Master's of Arts in Linguistics and over twenty years experience in foreign language education. I have a TESOL teaching certificate and have taught English as a second language as well. I have a strong background in the principles, practices, and techniques of language instruction and am very good at working with students that have difficulty learning languages and in adapting learning materials for special educational needs.I look forward to discuss your needs and objectives further and sharing my expertise and how I can tailor and customize it to fit your learning goals.

Teaching and tutoring has been an important part of my life for many years now. Since high school, I have volunteered to teach a wide range of subjects to students of all ages. In doing so, I've learned to step into the shoes of my students in order to help them master their material. I've also been able to step outside my own comfort zone, performing in a rock band and joining a salsa dance club. I'm positive that I can use my knowledge and experiences to help students excel!
